This study explores the role of Freud's psychoanalytic constructs the Id, Ego, and Superego in maintaining social discipline. The Id represents primal instincts and desires; the Ego mediates between these impulses and reality, while the Super-Ego embodies moral conscience and societal norms. Social discipline emerges when these elements are in balance, ensuring individuals act in ways that align personal desires with collective expectations. The paper examines how the Super-Ego enforces adherence to ethical and social standards, the Ego negotiates rational behaviour in complex social contexts, and the Id challenges these structures by introducing raw, instinctive drives. Through this lens, the study highlights the dynamic interplay of these forces in fostering self-control, moral behaviour, and societal harmony, offering insights into their importance in psychological and social frameworks.
